Personal Finance (Not Investing) • What does it mean to "self insure?"

$

There are people who are finding homeowner's insurance too cost prohibitive (in Florida) and they are going without insurance. Risky but perhaps they'd just sell the land if the house washes out to sea. Or they are taking the risk if they can afford to rebuild with funds out of pocket.
Thanks for all your comments. Very sightful.

Regarding homeowner's insurance, it isn't the cost of the house & contents that I am concerned with. It is the liability for someone getting injured on our property. Say an elderly visitor falls down our steps and gets paralyzed. And say that visitor's insurance company comes after us for damages.

good point. other people might have umbrella coverage for this purpose which may offer greater coverage at lower cost.
